Title: Hammer vs Brunswick shoe price differential:
Post by: JPbowling151 on August 13, 2016, 04:50:39 PM
I was at my local proshop the other day and I noticed the new K&R Strikeforce shoe lineup poster. What interested me is why the men's Hammer performance shoes were about $30 more than Brunswick's? Both companies shoes are made by the same company and both appear to be constructed about the same way other than company logo and color. Are we to believe the new Hammer shoes are better constructed to warrant being the most expensive shoe produced by K&R? Seems a bit odd to me.

The Hammer shoes are new with the Ebonite/KR deal.  They are just selling through existing inventory on the Brunswick/KR shoes then they are done.

I will say the kr shoes "look" pretty bogus. Is that who makes the TPU x?

Did they buy out ethnic, or is it an all new set up?
